Even the fine details are exactly same as the front side display of the phone has three soft buttons located at the base while Dolby digital plus speakers are located at the same place on the rear side of the back panel.

The phone is multi-touch enabled and has approximately 294 pixels per inch, thus producing sharp and bright colors. The thing to observe is that the display is not protected by Corning Gorilla Glass and you have to protect it by using screen guards. We did not find much difficulty while using the phone in bright sunlight as the screen was not reflecting much. The only problem we saw with the display was that it attracted a lot of smudge and finger marks.

The 2 GB RAM provided in the phone makes it possible for users to work on various apps simultaneously without having to overcome the slightest of lag. The phone performed slightly well than its predecessor as the AnTuTu and Quadrant scores were 21392 and 11860, respectively.Camera FeaturesThe Lenovo A6000 Plus has the same camera of its predecessor as it is provided with an 8 MP primary camera while the secondary camera is of 2 MP.

Technology Aspects

The phone runs on the same Android 4.4 KitKat platform, which again is heavily customized by Lenovo. The Vibe UI skin present in the phone is developed independently by Lenovo’s software team. The UI doesn’t have an app drawer and so could take the time to get accustomed by the users who have been using Android’s UI previously. All the widgets and icons are present in the home screen itself. The phone comes pre-installed with two themes that can be customized while there is no option to download other themes. The phone comes pre-installed with a lot of third party apps and you can uninstall them if you want to free space.
